Danger Shield Kit Retail

Description: This is the same product as the Danger Shield. The difference is this version comes in fancy clamshell packaging meant for our distributors that need it. Regular customers are welcome to order, but we want to limit the amount of extra packaging finding its way into the trash heap.

The Danger Shield mounts on top of your Arduino or Arduino Pro and equips it with a variety of fun and useful inputs and outputs. The Danger Shield has so much potential; we can’t wait to see what you’re able to do with it! The shield’s features include:

Three linear slide potentiometers connected to the Arduino’s analog pins 0 through 2.

Red and yellow LEDs connected to digital pins 5 and 6 - PWM pins - so you can easily vary their brightness.

Three momentary push buttons connected up to the Arduino’s digital pins 10 through 12. Those lines will go low when the buttons are pressed.

A photocell and a temperature sensor, both with analog outputs, are connected to the analog pins 3 and 4, respectively.

An 8-bit shift register set up to control a blue 7-segment LED.

A buzzer - so you can get sound out of your Arduino

Capacitive Touch pad - Using the CapSense library to sense touch.

This new version uses a different temperature sensor. This product comes as a kit of parts, which you’ll have to solder into the included PCB. All parts are through-hole so it should go together relatively easily; but always check your component orientation before soldering!
